Friday night open-gaming

(Updated June 9, 2013) Most of our attendees do not RSVP via Meetups. Attendance is typically 12- 20 per week. Below is our monthly game scheduled; note that these plans are always subject to change; I will do my best to email alerts to the meetups member list but there is always a chance of cancellation. It is the nature of "open-gaming" there are often impromptu games, unplanned openings, and no shows; so bring your favorite game; you never know. Dropping by to check us out if fine. If your age 17 - 14; a guarding must attend with you, 13 and under are not permitted. Seven PM is normally when we have use of the room, some groups start a bit later. More details about this meetup fallowing the scheduled.

1st Friday of the month

New. The 1st week official Pathfinder Society is returning. Here is the description: "The Pathfinder Society seeks the ancient ruby ring of the salamander and it falls to a team of Pathfinders to find it. Last seen in the Tri-Towers Yard, a once elite academy for the youth of Absalom, the ruby ring is now lost in the Drownyard, all that remains of Tri-Towers after it was destroyed a decade ago in the great quake. The Pathfinders must risk the strange black ichors and salty brine to find their prize—will they risk their very souls as well? A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5). To Sign Up reply on the "Meetup" withyour name/pc name, PFS Number and level. Vincent Hewitt[masked]

New "evil" Pathfinder game. Huge first game turnout; ten players (Crazy and fun it turns out). Run by GM Joseph C. I have no clue whether the game is full or not. One "death" in but the player is coming back for more. Wow. E-mail the GM direct at: [masked]

Lots of players have been showing up, enough for am additional game. Bob has been bringing his favorite tabletop games; and he has great taste. So for the time being that has filled the gape.

New Classic D&D game using the Red Box rules is being organized. Enjoy the original system in all it's glory; expect a lot of action and fast play. And if the rules don't always make sense, well as I recall, it's more fun not to spend much time doing a lot critical thinking. Just go with it. E-mail the GM direct at [masked] (Openings)

New: The Heir Apparent : Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd edition This campaign has the potential to explore most of the 'Old World' that appears in the Warhammer Fantasy setting. At the start, the game will be basically Human-centric but non-Human characters will be considered later in the campaign. GM Shawn adds "I plan a campaign that will feature an even mix of roleplay and action but I also tend not to roll dice for everything. My main goals are to entertain the players and also to entertain myself". Openings

New "D&D Next Campaign- (Public playtest of new edition in development; should be interesting.) Anyone who is interested in playing; please email the game master at; [masked]

Pathfinder - GM Eric - "What is in an illithid what is this I don't even..." The game is full but Eric will generally take drop-in players.

Traveller - (Update: not running in May due to vacations but I will be there with Traveller stuff and we can create characters for June) GM Ben (me) - Science-fiction adventure in the far future using the updated rerelease of the classic system & setting from Mongoose Games. Players are "special agents" fighting crime and carrying out other tasks. A lot of undercover work. Emphases on roleplaying, story & exploring the Traveller setting. Combat is deadly. Adventures feel a lot like an episode of Firefly. Easy rules.Openings The game is limited to a max of 5 players.>

Friday Night open-gaming notes

Staying in touch (emailing) the game-master is the most reliable way to confirm. Games that I know have "openings" or are "full" I have so marked; unmarked means I don't know.

One of the lessons we have learned over the years is that over-crowded games hurts the fun for everyone. We need more events, so if you feel like running a game, we've got room and I can find players.

Note also that the first Friday of the month is our business meeting as well, usually about 10 minutes, open to guests and members.

Note also; games are run on the "1st", "2nd" , "3rd" or "4th" Friday of the month. We have found the weekly rotation the best way to keep track of what's running when. We ad-hoc when there is a "5th" Friday.

This is Vinny. I am trying to, on a regular schedule, run Pathfinder Society at the RPS group in Longbranch, NJ on the first Fridays of the month. The next session will be on September 6th. I figure it would be easier to choose a scenario based on need, as opposed to choosing a scenario and see who shows up. This way I can run scenarios that you, the players, want and haven't done. Could you let me know 1) If you are coming that day2) which of these Scenarios you have NOT PLAYED?

We're about:

We play mostly 'table-top' Role-playing games weekly at our Friday night Open-Gaming. They include genres like; Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, anime, superheros, the high seas and science-fiction. Our group predates this site, so we have many of non-Meetup members who attend. We do have age restrictions for those 17 and under, please contact us for details.
